Roof Replacement in West New York, NJ

A new roof isn't just about keeping water out — it's about thermal performance, curb appeal, insurance compliance, and long-term value. In West New York's Palisades ridge wind exposure and urban density limiting roof access, choosing the right materials and installer determines whether your investment lasts 25 years or 40+.

What's Involved in a West New York Roof Replacement

With West New York's densely populated town perched above the Hudson with primarily multi-family buildings, we see specific roofing patterns unique to this community. Understanding what goes into a proper replacement helps you evaluate contractors and quotes:

1. Complete tear-off — removing all existing shingles, underlayment, and damaged decking down to the plywood
2. Deck inspection and repair — replacing any rotted or soft plywood sheathing
3. Ice and water shield — applied along eaves, valleys, and all penetrations (NJ code requirement)
4. Synthetic underlayment — full coverage moisture barrier over the entire deck
5. New shingle installation — GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed architectural shingles
6. Complete flashing replacement — new step flashing, counter flashing, drip edge, and valley metals
7. Ventilation optimization — ridge vent and soffit intake balanced for your attic size
8. Cleanup and final inspection — magnetic sweep for nails, debris removal, and walkthrough
